Why buy a metal storage building instead of renting a unit in Greenwood?
A rented storage unit is a monthly bill that never ends and a drive across town every time you need the mower. A METCO storage building sits on your own property, holds the boat, the tools and the Christmas decorations in one place, and is paid for once. Enclosed storage buildings start at 12 feet wide and run to 60 feet with no interior posts, so shelving and a vehicle share the floor without columns in the way, and leg heights of 9 to 12 feet fit a lifted truck or a loft. The building uses 29-gauge panels that METCO roll-forms from raw coil at its own plant, on galvanized 14-gauge framing with 12-gauge available. Roll-up doors, walk doors and windows go where you want them. METCO delivers and installs the building itself, usually within days of delivery, with no builder required, and rent-to-own with no credit check is offered on qualifying buildings.
Where is METCO's Greenwood lot on Hwy 72 221?
The METCO Metal Building Supply lot in Greenwood is at 2223 Hwy 72 221 E, Greenwood, SC 29649, on the combined SC 72 and US 221 corridor on the east side of town. The lot is open Monday through Saturday from 9am to 5pm, and the phone is (864) 993-5254. Hodges and Ware Shoals are north on US 25, Abbeville is west on SC 72, and Saluda is southeast on US 178. Bring a list of what you need to store and the lot can size the width, length and leg height, and place roll-up and walk doors where they make sense. The lot quotes from current steel pricing, usually within 24 hours, and will say before purchase whether your parcel in Greenwood County needs certified engineered wind and snow load drawings. METCO's full list of 28 lots across the Carolinas and Southwest Virginia is at /locations/.
What do Greenwood County soils mean for a storage building foundation?
Greenwood County sits on the same red Piedmont clay as the rest of the Upstate, and clay is unforgiving of a sloppy pad. It swells through a wet winter, then shrinks and cracks in a dry summer, so a building on an uncompacted or unlevel base will shift and its doors will start to bind. Before the METCO crew arrives, the site needs to be level and compacted with grading that moves roof runoff away from the walls. A compacted gravel pad is a common base for a storage building or barn; a concrete slab poured to the building's footprint is the usual choice for a garage, shop or any building with a finished floor. The METCO crew installs anchors that match whichever base you have prepared. Whether Greenwood County requires a permit or engineered drawings for your size of building varies, so ask the lot about your parcel before you schedule the pad.
How does METCO price a storage building or garage in Greenwood?
METCO quotes from current steel pricing rather than a fixed list, because two storage buildings the same length can differ a great deal once the options are chosen. The width, length and leg height come first. Then 14-gauge standard framing versus optional 12-gauge, certified engineered drawings if the county requires them, and each roll-up door, walk door and window. Your gravel pad or slab, grading and any driveway extension are separate from METCO's quote, and interior work such as wiring, shelving or insulation is done by your own trades. Build the storage building in the 3D designer at /builder/ or call the Greenwood lot with the dimensions, and a quote usually comes back within 24 hours. Delivery and installation are free within 100 miles of the lot, which covers Ninety Six, Abbeville, Ware Shoals and Saluda, and the crew typically has the building up within days of delivery.
Can the Greenwood lot supply metal roofing panels for a re-roof or lean-to?
Yes. METCO manufactures 29-gauge metal roofing and siding panels at its plant at 188 US 264 Alt in Farmville, NC, and the Greenwood lot on Hwy 72 221 E is a sales point for that material as well as for complete buildings. Homeowners around Greenwood and Ninety Six use it to re-roof a house or a porch, farmers use it to cover an existing pole barn, and contractors buy it for lean-tos and sheds. Because the panels are roll-formed from coil, give the lot your lengths and color and the quote comes from current steel pricing, usually within 24 hours. For a full steel building, the same panels go on galvanized 14-gauge framing, with 12-gauge available, in clear-span widths from 12 to 60 feet, and METCO delivers and installs the building free within 100 miles with no builder required. Call (864) 993-5254 with your lengths and color.
